More than 100,000 supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lega Local Government Area of Kebbi State have left the party to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) during a mega defection rally held over the weekend.

According to the ADC’s mobilization team, the defectors numbered over 120,000. The move comes amid efforts by former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, a Kebbi indigene, to encourage politicians to adopt the ADC as their platform ahead of the 2027 general elections. The party has also been attracting significant numbers of defectors nationwide.
